This is a no-brainer signing for the Oilers.

The guy is very versatile as he has played all 3 F positions, at times for years in a row. He is very good in the faceoff circle a well as in shootouts.

I think one of the bigger reasons for this though is he knows Pulujarvi quite well and has for years. He owns part of the team JP played for in Finland. He could be a very valuable mentor to get the kid on the right track into the NHL.


I don't like it.
